How to upload a file using http PUT with httpie?

For some webserver testing, I use curl for file upload like this:
$ curl --silent --digest --user user:pass --upload-file filename http://server/dir/
Now I tried to archive the same function but with usage of httpie. Tried something like:
$ http --auth-type digest --auth user:pass PUT http://server/dir/
but cannot find a parameter to pass a filename for upload. Trying e.g. this
$ http --auth-type digest --auth user:pass PUT http://server/dir/ A=B
has the consequence that the content {"A": "B"} will be passed as http request body,
but I want to pass the raw content of a (maybe binary) file as request body instead (like possible with curl).
Might there be a way to do this also using httpie?
(I'd tested with httpie 0.9.2 on Kubuntu 16.04 host.)

Ok, digging deeper into httpie documentation, finding out that there are 2 ways to pass raw body data.
Either by piping or input redirection. httpie reads the body data from stdin:
$ cat filename | http --auth-type digest --auth user:pass PUT http://server/dir/filename
or
$ http --auth-type digest --auth user:pass PUT http://server/dir/filename <filename
or using that @ parameter like this:
$ http --auth-type digest --auth user:pass PUT http://server/dir/filename @filename
